Chrissy Love was our server and she is five-star in caring service and sparkling personality, all with a million-dollar smile. The food quality and presentation was five-star, as well. Gumbo to die for. Catfish out of this world. Peach cobbler to rave about from the rooftops. Recommend without hesitation or reservation to anyone who loves excellence in dining ... and a "must do" experience for lovers of soul and cajun.

My sister & I went to Cornbread tonight for dinner. It was a busy Friday night, but we were quickly offered seats at the bar. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. We ordered the salmon croquettes, BBQ rib tips, collard greens, sweet potatoes, mac & cheese, sweet potato muffins, and cornbread. We enjoyed every last bite.

The way this restaurant is packed to the rim had me excited for my random choice to pop in here. There is a small patio outside and that was where we sat since every table inside was full. I ordered the sweet tea, and a trio dinner either catfish, whole wings, and ribs, with mac, greens and yams. And of course an order of cornbread, with honey butter. I love that they provide honey butter but it does cost extra. Every single thing I had was on point, greens had an amazing flavor, yams were great, and Mac was good. My friend had rib tips and said they were great. This place does not disappoint and I cannot wait to come back!

Excellent first time visit. I started with the gumbo, followed by the catfish with mac & cheese and collard greens. The gumbo was very good with a dark roux which I prefer. I then followed that with some excellent catfish and some fantastic mac & cheese and greens. I love that they have hot sauce at the center of each table too, as it should be. Great sweet tea, basket of cornbread, sweet potato muffins and peach cobbler too. Very clean, welcoming restaurant with excellent service by Ayress. I will be visiting again. I really enjoyed my visit.

From Beans and Cornbread to Cornbread Restaurant & Bar, still a winner for me every time. Personally I like design/layout/vibe of the old location but the new location cool. I get the "Kitchen Sink" everyone now and it covers all my bases, Lobster, Shrimp, Catfish, Gumbo, Collard Greens, Rice and Fried Okra. I might even add a side of Mac and Cheese if I'm really feeling big in the waist lol.

Pros: - large portions - friendly service - tasty, home style flavors Cons: - unbelievably SLOW service omg. It took nearly an hour for our meals to come out. Yes, it was a Saturday night, but an hour wait after ordering is quite lengthy. The kitchen absolutely could use some work in managing orders and sending them out in a timely manner.

It was my first time eating at this restaurant. We had a party of 4, we were seated quickly. The service was OK but the food was great. Everyone tried different dishes, but my favorite was the greens and the sweet potato muffins. You have to try those if you go. The restaurant has very nice decor and they play great music, but at a low tone where you can still hear the conversation from others that you're dining with they do have a bar and plenty of parking which is accessible. The only thing I don't like is they put a 20% gratuity on parties of four so please beware of that! I'm only giving four stars because I server never came back to refill our drinks or asked if we wanted any additional items or if we need anything.
